[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a legal adult. OP, you must to adapt to his adulthood. The more you try to tighten the screws, the more he will pull away from you and not come home anymore. If you try to use money (tuition) as a cudgel, he might just call your bluff. Sure, okay, whatever. Let him be an adult. My college sophomore got home at 3 a.m.[/quote] It’s just really sad that you, of all people with a kid the same age, can’t empathize for one second what it would feel like to walk into a room with your kid not there IN THE CONTEXT of him drinking heavily the week before and just having a sit down where he agreed to communicate. You haven’t been spending the last 10 hours wondering if your kid is really okay. Dial back the parenting advice and just say, “I’m glad he’s safe.” [/quote] Agree, it’s about communication, not control. [/quote]
